What is the main difference between gametes and other cell types in humans?
What is the main difference between gametes and other cell types in humans?
- Gametes are produced through asexual reproduction, while other cells are produced through sexual reproduction.
- Gametes are genetically identical, while other cells are genetically diverse.
- Gametes have unpaired chromosomes, while other cells have paired chromosomes. (correct)
- Gametes undergo mitosis, while other cells undergo meiosis.
What process results in non-identical cells like gametes?
What process results in non-identical cells like gametes?
- Meiosis (correct)
- Cloning
- Mitosis
- Fertilization
How does sexual reproduction differ from asexual reproduction in terms of offspring?
How does sexual reproduction differ from asexual reproduction in terms of offspring?
- Sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring, whereas asexual reproduction leads to identical offspring. (correct)
- Asexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, unlike sexual reproduction.
- Sexual reproduction involves two parents, while asexual reproduction involves one parent.
- Asexual reproduction results in offspring with variations, while sexual reproduction produces clones.

Study Notes
- Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, with one type of cell called gametes having single, unpaired chromosomes like sperm and egg cells.
- Gametes are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis, which results in non-identical cells unlike mitosis.
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to genetic mixing and variation in offspring.
- Asexual reproduction only involves one parent, resulting in genetically identical offspring known as clones.
- Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes or meiosis, only mitosis for cell division.
